Pence doth protesteth too much … because his PAC only coincidentally was formed on the day after Special Counsel Mueller was appointed …
OTOH, Pence did lawyer up on 15 June 2017 … “Funds from the Great America Committee would potentially be available to Pence if he wished to use them in his legal defense regarding the Russian interference in the Russia investigation.[14]”
“Flynn misled me” will be Pence’s defense, but he did lie in at least one public statement and there was a variety of Flynn’s conflict information to which he was privy in November-December 2016. Now that Mueller is drilling down on Flynn and Manafort’s foreign agent connections, what Pence knew as head of Trump transition will become more important as Biglygate moves forward.
“Vice President Mike Pence appears to be cementing his status as President Trump's heir apparent...”
Great America Committee is a political action committee (PAC) registered by Vice President of the United States Mike Pence.
It is the first example of an active Vice President creating such a type of political action committee while serving in office.[2][3]
Politico reported on the unusual nature of a Vice President forming their own PAC, when they normally rely on their political party.[5]NBC News said it was the first time a Vice President took such an action.[3] TheStreet.com called it "unprecedented" and "awkwardly-timed".[6] Nine News observed the PAC was registered "amid the chaos" of the Trump administration.[7] Bloomberg News and Nine News pointed out that both Joe Biden and Dick Cheney did not take such an action while serving as Vice President.[7][8] Salon noted this type of PAC was used by both Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz as a tactic to launch their bids for U.S. President.[9] Vanity Fair reported the action taken by Mike Pence was an attempt to take control of his potential future during growing political talk of efforts to impeach Donald Trump.[10]
Remember Pence’s idea for doing state-run media in Indiana
And in other sins …
